It’s fucking delicious, that’s for sure. A perfect addition of saltiness. And it has to be the tiniest bit, anything more is overpowering.

Am I the only weirdo who enjoys this?

    I wholeheartedly recommend Miso Butter Pasta. There are several variations but the main idea is to thoroughly blend a mix of soft (room temperature) Butter and Miso and to use it like a pesto with Spaghetti or Linguine.

    My favourite version is to add a tablespoon of Mirin and a dash of roasted sesame oil into the butter miso mix and stir it into a paste. When pasta is ready, mingle hot pasta with the paste so that every noodle is evenly coated, arrange on a plate and sprinkle with a mix of white and black sesame seeds, drop spring onion chopped into small rings on top, voilá!

        You are welcome! If you try and like it there a several interesting variations you could do after that, like adding fried mushrooms / garlic / onions on top. If you are into it´s numbing flavour, you could add ground Szechuan pepper into the paste, which imo fits very well because of it´s citrus notes, enjoy!

    That’s basically the same idea as vegemite - a salty umami spread.

    Edit: shoulda read the other comments before posting

        Me? No. I don’t have access to an olive tree though. I assume fresh olives are eaten, but I’ve never even seen one

            Apparently you’re practically correct. Fresh olives are very bitter, so most people don’t like them.

    At my urging, my husband tried making miso caramel and it turned out amazing. Great on ice cream. But also: miso latte

    Is it weird that I’ve never heard of miso paste? Or vegemite?

        If you are in the US and used to our preservative-filled bread, a $30 bread maker like the Dash, some flaked salt, and room-temperature real butter will make you wonder if you’ve ever had bread before.
